Khanty and Mansi are small indigenous peoples of Western Siberia with the unique cultural, anthropological, linguistic characteristics. The study their gene pool will make it possible to reconstruct genetic structure Ugric-speaking population, which in modern times only remain, along Hungarians, whose there traces medieval migration Magyars. detailed characterization is important for reconstruction Ugric populations history region. was aimed assess representative samples Khants (n = 83) 74) based on standard panel 60 SNP markers extended 74 Y-chromosomal by statistical cartographic methods context population Urals Siberia. differences between pools have been revealed both Y chromosome haplogroups branches N2 N3a4. Most evenly distributed N2-Y3195 (26%), N2-VL67 (23%), N3a4-Z1936 (23%). “Western” branch predominates (69%). gravitate towards Urals-Volga region multidimensional space. Based haplogroups, close South However, analysis N3a4 has shown that intermediate “Uralic” “Siberian” clusters: when ancestors moved from Ural northeast, these acquired components. geographic maps 10 haplogroup reflect dynamic changes took place 4–2 kya.
